[meteorite-list] Arizonans Find Largest Meteorite Fragment From Spectacular Midwestern Fall

[Jeff Grossman]

This has come up before, and again I have to take issue with this 
usage.  It is absurd to call a piece comprising <10% of the total 
recovered mass the "main mass."  That is contrary to the historical 
usage of this term.  Folks on the list love to coin pet terms, so here 
is a proposal: call it the LKM (largest known mass).

BTW, if Marvin Killgore flies the stone to Amsterdam on Jan 15, then we 
might have MK taking the LKM on KLM on MLK day.
